Cool picture. Looks like it was taken at S.I.R?

S.I.R.  You can just barely see "...tle Inter...tional Raceway" above the rear of the red car.

It would have been super cool if they had got gene standing at the line too!
None the less its very cool from the bygone era!

That's dead end of the tower side stands. I guarantee the other side and start line stands had plenty of people. Those original Northwest bug-in events were huge. That's why the California cars made the long drive up. Very cool picture, quite a good score! Pretty sure I was there too. Wayne

Now thats an event I would like to see brought back. Was always a great time, huge swap meet, killer car show, parking lot was almost as good a car show and drag racing all day!
